She influenced my life so greatly. I love her so much. I owe a lot to her and my grandfather. She was one of the most generous and loving people I've ever known and I'm so proud to say that I'm her granddaughter.Thank you for all of the support and prayers during this time.

I was so sorry to hear about Jeanne. She was always one of my favorite people at the Madden Library. I have great memories of the Jeanne and Pat Torosian duo. Best friends forever, they were hilarious and always made me laugh. It was the end of a very special era when those two retired.

When Nicki and I were neighbors, it was wonderful to see Jeanne and Mike come over to check up on their kid ... as well as at all of Nicki's theatre endeavors.

She loved you all. She was a remarkable and wonderful human being...one of the most generous souls on the planet. She will be greatly missed.
